A 240 page report completed in October, 1943, by Harvard psychologist Dr. Henry A. Murray. The report attempted to present an analysis of Adolf Hitler's personality and its development. This analysis was then used to make predictions about what Hitler would do after an Allied victory and how he should be dealt with if taken into custody. The reporting sought to give the OSS an understanding of how it may be able influence Hitler's mental condition and behavior. Murray correctly predicted that Hitler's most likely end would be suicide. Murray believed that understanding Hitler would provide for an understanding of the psychology of the German people.
